Missoula Fly Fishing Lodges, Tony Reinhardt tells us about another day on the river…

…Friday was the trout day that we all dream about. From the rowers seat I get to experience a few truly special days each season. Have you ever wondered what it looks like to see over 100 trout eat a dry fly in a day?

Even though flows were a little low I decided to take the gals to upper Rock Creek since they had such a great time there last year. We fished a single dry fly all day and the biggest gap between strikes might have been 5 minutes. In the morning we set off with golden stones and the river fished at a good pace. Most of the good water produced strikes although there were a lot of smaller fish early in the day.

As the day progressed we started to get a few more hatches and eventually we switched over to green drakes and that’s when things started to get really exciting. Fish started showing up all over the river and the average trout was much better than the typical average on Rock Creek.

The afternoon was filled with a lot of cutts and browns in the 13-16″ range and Dianne even managed to land a brook trout for a grand slam with four species in one day. Some of the runs in the afternoon were simply loaded with rising trout and I had to do little more than drop the anchor while the ladies picked off the heads.

For a while it was absolutely silly as I was releasing fish as fast as I could and another would appear boatside with a fly in it’s mouth. There were more doubles than I could count and more fish than I could imagine today. I was so happy for Penny and Dianne.

They take fly fishing very seriously and it was good to see that their efforts were rewarded. They floated into the take out with another double on the line for a perfect ending to a tremendous day. We had an awesome three days together with a bunch of fish and some really nice trout. I look forward to seeing them again in August.

Montana Trout Outfitters

I have had the great fortune to be able to float many rivers with Tony Reinhardt over the past 13 plus years at an average of 15 days per year. Tony's desire on each and every one of those floats we shared has always been to make me comfortable, put me on fish and insure that I enjoyed myself.

I've fished with many guides from freshwater to salt flats in my life but I've had the most pleasure watching Tony grow into the guide he is today.

I can't think of anything I would rather do to start a day than be sitting in the front seat of his boat or raft and launching onto a river somewhere.
